Catalyse: Set to RISE

Catalyse, AWARE’s corporate training arm, partners with organisations to build Respectful, Inclusive, Safe and Empathic (RISE) cultures, where people can truly maximise their potential.

Like most businesses, Catalyse was impacted by COVID-19: Contracts were cancelled, projects were halted, and many multinational clients went quiet.

Overnight, we were forced to innovate the way we do business. With a lot of hard work, resilience, upskilling and a great sense of humour, in 2020, Catalyse accomplished:

  • Online delivery: For the first time in our history, we designed and delivered 59 online workshops in a single year.
  • Reach: Around 4,000 company employees either underwent training in a Catalyse workshop, and/or benefitted from new workplace policies thanks to Catalyse’s advisory services.
  • New products: We introduced three new products—”Investigation Workshop”, “Workplace Response to Family Domestic Violence” and “Building Trust through Empathic Communication”.
  • New branding: We launched a new logo and brand-new marketing materials.
  • Global impact: We closed and delivered workshops for EMEA and North American clients.
Catalyse Executive Advisor Corinna Lim spent an inspiring International Women’s Day with R3, an enterprise software pioneer in digital industry transformation.

Products

Catalyse provides a wide range of interventions and solutions, such as workshops, policy and procedures advisory, content customisation, mediation services, digital learning and professional speaking engagements.

Programmes to support the prevention of workplace harassment were once again a stronghold of Catalyse’s offerings, contributing to more than half of total revenue. Diversity & Inclusion work grew in importance in 2020, approaching almost 30% of total revenue. This growth also signified a much higher interest in the topic from organisations in the Asia-Pacific region. For the first time, we received requests for a “Workplace Response to Family Domestic Violence” to address the spike in family domestic violence cases during COVID-19.

The Catalyse team demonstrated inspiring resilience and delivered a profit of $71,979 to AWARE to support its services.
